Sorry to sound repetitive; it's just what happened.

Following this for ideas - something for the still-yet-to-be-constructed vocal booth (closed-back, obviously), and perhaps an alternative to my much-loved, dependable, natural-and-flat-sounding HD25-1s as the tension and therefore pressure on my ears still hasn't reduced after 15 years. I avoid wearing them at all costs, which hurts(!) 'cause I genuinely love the natural, un-hyped sound.

If you're using an iPhone or iPod for music playback, please check this out:

https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/sonicma ... 66186?mt=8

BBE's little app is phenomenal for headphone. You can customize the settings as well.... tweak the process's depending on your phones, or external speakers.

This app makes me really appreciate all my headphones, from the old yellow Sony foldable Sports phones, to my Sennheiser HD280's and various other casual listening headphones.

Best money you'll spend if you're using headphones for casual use!

Hey—This looks awesome, though one of the reviews indicates it doesn't work with iTunes or Apple Music. Has this app been stable for you?

It's been stable for me on my iTouch with iOS 6.1.6
Graphics get little funky but it works!
Looks best on my iPhone with iOS 8, but I don't use the phone for my music.
Check it out!
